Tiger Woods is a fake

Did anybody else watch the 60 Minutes interview with Tiger Woods and think: What a fake?

The most-revealing thing he said: I would want to kick your butt in whatever we play.

At least, Michael Jordan admitted to gambling. Tiger’s biggest confession was stuttering. Hell, that ain’t nothing to be ashamed of. Hey, Tiger: Tell us about the time you nailed two hookers at Stanford or the time you cheated at the Masters but didn’t get caught or how you slept with David Duval’s wife and that’s why he sucks now.

My point is, Americans love Tiger Woods and they will buy whatever ever babble that comes out of his mouth. I’ve never read anything negative about the guy. He’s revered as high as Babe Ruth and Willie Mays and Walter Payton.

Tiger Woods is a nice guy with a hot wife. I’m just waiting for life to catch up with this good guy. Maybe he’s a closet Michael Jackson. Or perhaps he’s secretly financing a terrorist cell in Guatemala. My point is, this guy ain’t the Golden Boy everybody, including reporters, makes him out to be. He’s just really good at controlling his emotions and making you think he’s just so nice. Mark my words: this guy will do something down the road to reveal his true personality. Do I have proof? No, just history…

Remember, O.J. was a nice guy, too. So was Rae Carruth. And Pete Rose.

I think you are looking for something that probably doesn’t exist. I think Tiger has a great head on his shoulders, and he will probably be a very good citizen for the rest of his life.

I am not saying Tiger is a saint, but as long as he doesn’t commit multiple felonies, then Tiger’s business should remain Tiger’s business. I don’t care if he has weekly orgies with his Wife, Duvall’s wife, and Bob Barker.

Tiger is a great role model for most adolescence. He practices and plays golf all the time, but at the same time, he doesn’t let it overwhelm his life. When he senses that overwhelming feeling, he takes a step back from golf for a while. More people should take that same approach.

So is Pete Rose. I am not saying that what he did was right, but he is not a mean person, because he gambled on baseball and then lied about it. You can call him a liar, cheat, gambler, …. He has done nothing to prove to me that he is not nice, and he has been a very nice guy in every interview I have seen.

Wow---you got that right from 3 years ago. The chickens have come home to roost for a Tiger----and the Tiger finds the chickens his equal. I have always dis-liked Tiger Woods. I saw that interview also, and I found him a fake. Unbelievably arrogant asshole pretending to be a nice guy. It showed in his speech and in his body language. Is there no one in this world that Tiger hasn't screwed? Except me, of course. I wouldn't give that prick the time of day much less a time of night.

Here we are more than 3 yrs later and you have proven to be absolutely right about Tiger being a fake. His goose is cooked now in Nov '09. We should learn by now that no athlete or other celebrity, etc should be put on such a high pedal stool.

Interesting that the last several times I've watched Woods with his 'sore' back, 'aching' knees, was always right after he hit a poor shot or realized he was losing a tournament. Typical, typical, typical. That's what immature people do that can't stand to lose or that people think he isn't so great anymore.
